Notes

Sir Nicholas de Cantilupe (d.1266) of Withcall in Lincolnshire, Greasley in Nottinghamshire and Ilkeston in Derbyshire, who married Eustachia FitzHugh, daughter and heiress of Ralph FitzHugh of Greasley.

His son was William de Cantilupe, 1st Baron Cantilupe (1262-1308) of Greasley and of Ravensthorpe Castle in the parish of Boltby, North Yorkshire. He was born in 1262 at Lenton Priory[5] in Nottinghamshire (to which his maternal ancestors the de Greasley family had been benefactors), the son and heir of Sir Nicholas de Cantilupe (d.1266) of Withcall (an ancient Cantilupe possession[6]%29 in Lincolnshire, Greasley in Nottinghamshire and Ilkeston in Derbyshire, by his wife Eustachia FitzHugh, daughter and heiress of Ralph FitzHugh of Greasley[7] (whose mother was Agnes de Greasley, heiress of Greasley and Ilkeston) and of Middle Claydon in Buckinghamshire. William's father died when he was aged four and was buried in St Mary's Church, Ilkeston where survives his recumbent effigy and chest tomb, showing him as a "lively" cross-legged warrior, often said to be a depiction reserved for crusaders.[8] He displays the arms of Cantilupe of Greasley sculpted on his shield. Within two years his mother remarried,[9] to William de Ros (1254-1310) of Ingmanthorpe in Yorkshire[10] (uncle of William Ros, 1st Baron Ros (d.1316) who married the heiress of Belvoir Castle[11]) by whom she had further issue.[12]

Origins

Of the family which took its name from Greasley the following is a short account, the chief authorities being Thoroton's Nottinghamshire (1790) ii. 239-41, Dugdale's Monasticon (ed. Ellis) vi. 13, and Lipscomb's Buckinghamshire i. 175-6 : —

Ralph, in the time of William the Conqueror, had a son Richard : and he had a son Hugh Fitz-Richard, whose son William (occ. 1 140) first bore the name of Greasley. His wife's name is not recorded, but his son was Ralph de Greasley who married Isabella (or Agnes) an heiress of the family of Muscamp, and was lord of Greasley and Selston as well as, in right of his wife, lord of Muscamp in Nottinghamshire. He probably died in 1228. Their daughter was undoubtedly Agnes, who married Hugh Fitz-Ralph in about a.d. 1215, and from whom the husband assumed the name of Greasley. There is some evidence that she had first in about 1210 married Robertus Lupus. The children of Hugh (who seems to have died in 1260) and Agnes were certainly Ralph and perhaps Hugh. With Ralph's daughter Eustachia the male line of de Greasley failed for the second time and finally. Eustachia may have had a sister Idonea, but if so, the latter died without issue, and Eustachia became sole heiress. She married firstly William de Cantelupe and had a son William born in about 1292.
